God is not dead -- only the God we idolized, made something of, is dead. And good riddance. No need to dance around that Golden Calf. It is time for us to hitch up our spiritual britches and open to a direct partnership with our Source, with God. To move from that old servile consciousness and its I-It split to direct open companionship with The One Who Breathes Us.
To paraphrase Bob Dylan, the old order is rapidly fading. We are in a new world. A new consciousness is required. We have already achieved (or been blessed with) a planetary awareness. Now is the time to open even further -- into a cosmic awareness. Cosmic consciousness (as Richard Maurice Bucke calls it) is no stranger to many of us. Abraham Maslow pointed to its existence in his writings about "peak experiences." I have also done research in this area.
It is time for us to move beyond our petty games on this earth. It is time for each of us to actively generate our spiritual body. Consciousness is evolving on this planet. We either move along with this birthing or get left behind, dinosauric dregs of a failed experiment.
Those of us left behind, will we be discarded? Made anew? Recycled into a new being that will be able to hitch up the britches? No one wants to think they'll be discarded if they aren't good enough?
ReplyDeleteThe emphasis and focus is not on being left behind. Stop looking at that. Whatever we attend to, we become. The focus is on widening, deepening, and opening our heart, our spirit, our consciousness.
ReplyDeleteThank you George! What we attend to we become; such an obvious truth and yet one so easy to overlook. Time indeed to "get on with it"! One thing about breathing the love that breathes us, it feels so good!!!
ReplyDeleteHere is a cool song by the group Donna the Buffalo, it is called "Conscious Evolution". Check it out. Ron
ReplyDeletePS. Not one is left behind, we are all just moving along the same continuum.
